Nuclear Science Merit Badge

Nuclear science gives us a simple explanation of the natural world. The ultimate goal of nuclear science is to find out if there is one fundamental rule that explains how matter and forces interact. Earning the Nuclear Science merit badge is a chance for Scouts to learn about this exciting field at the cutting edge of science today.
  • Nuclear Science is one of the elective merit badges for the William T. Hornaday awards for Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts.
